I’m not sure, haven’t had to mess with the suspension on them yet.  Same as a first gen fusion, whatever that uses.

This is a 626, which helps keep the car in question straight.  In any case, the answer is yes, this car has struts front and rear.

In reply to pres589 (djronnebaum) :

What I meant was, 6s would not be a good parts donor because they do not have struts.

A quick check of specs on rockauto says the later generation actually uses shorter overall struts, with less travel, so that idea is out.  But if you have a 93-up 626/MX-6, maybe you can lift it with the older 626 struts.

Kind of tempting to throw it on the for sale forum, but I really need to get the S10 roadworthy first.

Turns out duct tape is not weatherproof enough against the high winds and heavy rains we’ve been having.  Haven’t decided on the next attempt to seal up the sunroof.  Either silicone caulk or flex tape.

If you never want it to open or leak ever again, Eternabond tape.
